PALS: Jesse serving in the RAF; living it up in Disneyland with Minnie Mouse

Part-time nurse Jesse O’Neill spends £25,000 a year on her hobby.

She said: “I’ve always been a Disney fanatic, I love the perfect fairytale worlds they live in.

“Some of my costumes can take as long as a month to make. Even in the military I was Disney mad and I had a lot of memorabilia but I didn’t have the full costumes then. I’ve spent half of my adult life in combats with a rifle and the other in a ball-gown and tiara. I’d have banter with the lads and one plastered my picture around the camp calling me a ‘combat barbie.’ I’ve been to Iraq and can handle a weapon but love dressing up.”

Jesse, 30, of Nottingham, is selling her costumes to help pay for her 2018 Disney wedding.
